Description: The early 1920's found social
patterns in chaos.Traditionalists, the older Victorians, worried that everything
valuable was ending. Younger modernists no longer asked whether society
would approve of their behavior, only whether their behavior met the approval
of their intellect. Intellectual experimentation flourished. Americans
danced to the sound of the Jazz Age, showed their contempt for alcoholic
prohibition, debated abstract art and Freudian theories.
Comments: This is one of the excellent cases
at the Univeristy of Missouri Law School site.

Although not strictly an African-American
music form, jazz has been heavily influenced by the Black community, starting
with its earliest roots and continuing into the present time. Become familiar
with jazz not only for its crucial place in music history but also because
of its significance in twentieth century cultural history, and particularly
the history of Black culture in the United States.

Blues music finds its roots in both African
and European music styles. From these origins, the blues evolved into its
three-line ballad form, blues notes, and basic three -cord harmony beginning
in the 1890's. Analyze a blues song to answer the question "What is the
blues?" Research and create biographical vignettes on blues artists and
make multi-media presentations on how the blues relates to U.S. social
history. The Encarta server is very busy, so this lesson may load slowly.
